The biggest chunk of the increase would pay for an across-the-board-pay raise for teachers – $480 million in spending that Scott has already announced. The rest of the governor’s plan includes:

-Nearly $300 million to shore up the Florida retirement System. School district employees make up the largest share of the retirement plan’s membership, but this means nearly a quarter of the governor’s proposal would not flow directly into the state’s classrooms.

-$100 million for classroom technology. The Department of Education requested $440 million to wire the state’s public schools and prepare for the rise of electronic textbooks and computerized testing. Some of that need could be funded through other sources.

-$118 million to pay for rising enrollment

-$91 million to grow school recognition funding, which provides grants to schools that maintain A grades or increase their scores under the state’s grading system

-$160 million to replace one-time funding and increase funding per student.

There is no dedicated line item to pay for school security or add an officer at every school, but school districts could use a portion of the other funding increases for that purpose.
